Legal Music Distribution for Education?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday December 31, 2003 @09:12AM from the if-it-isn't-legal-it-should-be dept.

discstickers asks: "One of my classes next semester, 'Roots of Rock & Roll', has been canceled, because the professor isn't allowed to post the songs needed for the class, on a limited-access server ([which would] only be available to people registered for the class). So Slashdot, is there a legal way to get around this? The MP3s in question are old albums and individual songs. The cost shouldn't be too high, there are 100 people in the class with Macs and PCs, and we'd have to be able to burn the music to mix CDs for the final project."

I completely agree with you! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm heading off to my "Effects of Dharma and Greg on Contemporary Culture" class.

..the mean old Dean still won't let the prof enter the class in "Battle of the Bands". It's against school policy - and, besides, what hope does a ragtag bunch of school kids have of winning?
